across believe bought brought car early fairly half john seemed sitting ticket truck
We bought a ticket and got up in the stands. We got there fairly early and were sitting for what seemed like a half hour, 45 minutes, when all of sudden, here comes my truck and my car across the track.

Wisconsin will bring people from Wausau and Kaukauna and La Crosse, so you don't only get the good fan base from the greater Milwaukee area, but a lot of people come in, especially with the MARS cars coming in and the Mid-American cars from all over the state, bringing in their fan base, their parents and children and grandpas and whatever, ...
